In consultation with the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI), the COPH collaborated to assess, implement, and support infection control and prevention (IPC), healthcare-associated infections (HAI), and antibiotic resistance (AR) content in existing curriculum within graduate public health programs throughout the US and Puerto Rico. To participate in this project and help develop infection control policy, students, faculty, and staff completed anonymous surveys to improve the understanding of IPC/HAI/AR education and training.

Upon completion of the survey, participants received a discount code (worth up to $50) to attend any webinar on the USF College of Public Health Lifelong Learning Academy portal. The survey was supported by funds made available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, through cooperative agreement OT18-1802, Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation’s Health, National Healthcare Workforce IPC Training Initiative - Health Strategists, as part of a sub-award provided by the National Network of Public Health Institutes.
